Description

Paperback / softback. New. A phenomenon of the pre-industrial age, the Sans-Culottes--master craftsmen, shopkeepers, small merchants, domestic servants--were as hostile to the ideas of capitalist bourgeoisie as they were to those of the ancien regime which was overthrown in the first years of the Revolution. Here is a detailed portrait of who these people were and a sympathetic account of their moment in history.

First line

From June 1793 to February 1794, the Parisian sansculottes movement allowed the consolidation of the revolutionary government and the organization of the dictatorship of public safety, while at the same time imposing upon a reluctant Convention economic measures considered right for ameliorating the lot of the masses.

From the rear cover

'This book is. . .concerned with the study of the all-important social force within the revolutionary process in France between 1793 and 1794, during the period of the Jacobin dictatorship of Public Safety, that is to say, with the Paris of the sans-culottes, organized in forty-eight sections.'
